What is the main reason for the farmers to commit suicide?

The tragedy of Nallappa Reddy is mirrored by tens of thousands of farmers in India who have suffered enormous losses. Many farmers borrow money from banks but are unable to pay it back. Many farmers believe that the only option left to them is suicide because the situation is so dire. According to government statistics, between 1997 and 2005, 1,50,000 farmers perished in a similar manner. This figure might even be substantially higher.

Therefore, the correct answer is option (C).
